Derrick was such a pleasure to work with! I needed to get certified to drive with hand controls after becoming paralyzed. He gave me all the pointers I needed to be more confident, helped me figure out which controls would work best in my vehicle and prepped me for the DMV driving test. I highly recommend Derrick to anyone needing driving instruction for any reason.
When it comes to providing a fantastic service for those in need of mobility driving assistance, Derrick is fantastic. He knows the situation, knows our specific needs, and has a great personality!
